In one embodiment, the front end server 103 sends information to a database 104 via a network or other data connection. In another embodiment, the front end server 103 receives data from database 104 via a network or other data connection in order to ascertain information to further the process. In another embodiment, a Content Delivery Network server via a network or other data connection 105 is delivered media files to be stored temporarily until the creation of the final audiovisual masterpiece. In a further embodiment, the front end server 103 via a network or other data connection instructs the audio visual creation system 106 how to create final audiovisual masterpiece. During this process, in one embodiment, the audiovisual creation system 106 will collect information from front end server 103 via a network or other data connection. It will collect it as data and instructions, from the database 104 via a network or other data connection as data, whether new or stored, such as meta data, and from the Content Delivery Network server 105 via a network or other data connection as data and/or media, whether new or stored, such as audio content.

FIG. 2 illustrates audiovisual creation and storage system to create an audiovisual masterpiece. After receiving communications, data, and files from FIG. 1 to the “receiving audiovisual creation system” FIG. 2/200, in one embodiment, the creation process commences and some or all of these processes may move forward: An analysis 201 of the data, meta data, files, and media may be performed; Meta data and instructions 202 are filtered to the automation server 203 and the rendering server 204; The media analysis 201 information may be delivered to the automation server 203; The rendering server 204 will identify the task at hand from the automation server 203 and/or the rendering server 204.

In one embodiment, the rendering server 204 will request proper media, data, and metadata to create audiovisual masterpiece. In another embodiment, the rendering server 204 will process such data and media to create said masterpiece. In another embodiment, the rendering server 204 will direct the created masterpiece to delivery server 205, and in another embodiment, the delivery server 205 will store and send said masterpiece to pre-selected repositories or recipients as indicated by metadata and instructions 202 and/or from automation server 203, filtered through rendering server 204 to delivery server 205.

The onset of creation may or may not be limited to a user interface that exists within a mobile and/or mobile computer application as illustrated in FIG. 3. In one embodiment, the process is initiated by pressing buttons to take photos or videos 301 or selecting photos 301 from preexisting media stored on mobile device. In another embodiment, a theme will be selected 302 that will indicate the accompanied audio/music and the graphical treatment, timing, speed for desired masterpiece. In a further embodiment 303, field entries will be entered for the desired delivery address, customer's name and/or special title, selection of the users name from list, and the ability to set a specialized toggle, identifying the masterpiece as a particular creation type via a data entry to FIG. 1/104 database of the front end server 103.

In a non-mechanical overview of how the system functions for creation of audiovisual masterpiece, refer to FIG. 4. The system functions by receipt of files, data, and instructions from a device or like module, but not limited to as indicated in FIG. 3/301-303. In FIG. 4 as described, media files are received 400 and passed through to storage 402. Received instructions from front end server 103 are then passed to audiovisual creation system 403, where the audiovisual creation system is instructed 403 to request required media, data and/or other content 404 and then create the audiovisual masterpiece 405. In another embodiment, the audio visual creation system is instructed to deliver the masterpiece to pre-determined recipients and/or specifically configured social media sites, and in a further embodiment, is instructed to send notification 407 of success or failure of delivery to said sites. In another embodiment, notifications 407 are also sent as emails to desired entities 408-409 as pre-determined during the initial setup of user's account and by as indicated in selection during the instructed creation process 303 and in another embodiment, the user or customer may receive SMS messages 408-409 indicating process details and/or preview media or final advertisement/s. In another embodiment, the delivered email notifications or SMS notifications 408-409, if desired by recipient/s, are shared via social media platforms 410, not limited to the platforms that may be part of the current system or confined by the current system or future systems that may be implemented to best serve that specific area of marketing or availability of said market relating to social media. In a further embodiment, statistics 411 are gathered on the traffic and/or related, trackable actions of the audiovisual masterpieces as they make their way through all perceivable electronic advertising methods, and not limited to only social media proliferation.
